18th February 2015 Picton to Masterton to Mount Bruce to Napier

The drive to Masterton over the mountains was unexpectedly one of the most epic of the whole trip ... apparently when the wind blows on these mountains the trains get blown off the tracks ....

Moving Pictures for the photos below ... ( just over 1 minute ... ) this is of the Mount Bruce Reserver for endangered species including the White Kiwi ..
